FAQs

Silver bookmarks became widely popular during the Victorian and Edwardian periods as literacy rates increased and reading evolved into a popular pastime, leading silversmiths to create ornate page markers.

Traditional bookmarks from this era are typically crafted from sterling silver, often featuring hallmarks indicating the maker, assay office, and year of production, sometimes combined with materials like enamel or natural stone handles.

Authenticity is usually verified by locating official hallmarks stamped onto the metal, including makers marks, a lion passant for sterling silver, a city mark, and a date letter.

Such pieces can be displayed on a desk, within a glass-fronted bookcase, or placed on a side table alongside art books to add a touch of historical elegance to a room.

Silver should be cleaned periodically with a soft microfibre cloth designed for precious metals to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage the surface.
